Rich, can you post that AneryLav pic? (or can I?)

There's a thread going on about Ghost-Lavenders, and that's the only pic I know of that shows Anery and Lavender expressed in the same animal. (You also said it was proven for both, right?)

I have it on my HDD and could save you some time by "attaching" it here, but don't want to be rude by posting your pics... :)
 
Serpwidgets........

If you have that photo handy, do ahead and post it here. I know it's on my server somewhere, but I just haven't taken the time to find it.

Thanks.
 
please post it

As thread starter for the original discussion about lavender/ghost I would really love to see the picture in question.

So please do post it

Yes, it does...

look like a Caramel, now doesn't it? And this opens up a whole new pack of questions.

When I bred Snows het for Lavender, how come they ALL looked just like regular old snows? Since an Amelanistic Caramel produces a Butter, why didn't I get anything looking like this when I probably produced at least one Amelanistic Anerythristic Lavender?

Of course, I am only theorizing that this animal is homozygous for both 'A' Anerythrism and Lavender. I actually have a small group of animals that are just like this, including one that came from my Hypo Lavender project corns that looks like it may actually be a Ghost, but the blotches more resemble what I am seeing in these particular corns.

Could this be a Ghost Lavender? Beats me. It's a male, so for starters I would have to breed it to something like a Hypo Lavender female as a first test. But suppose it isn't? The babies would be virtually worthless (Hypos het for Lavender and 'A' Anerythrism), whereas Hypo Lavenders are still bringing in decent money. I did breed him to a Motley last year, but I must have been out of my mind. Just what I need is a batch of definite triple hets, possible quad hets, to grow up and breed.

Last year I bred amels het for Caramel and Lavender, from which I got some rather interesting looking animals, NONE of which look like what I had expected. I had planned on breeding Amber to Hypo Lavender this year, but I don't know if I really want another pack of keepers to have to deal with for a few years to see what results I get. I am literally being overrun by interesting gene carriers that many of you would probably kill for.
 
I gotta be totally honest and say I'm just a little dissapointed.

As you say it's very caramelly ?????

But somehow it just seems to lack that certain something (in my humble opinion and certainly no offence meant to anyone)

Am I in the minority on this or do you folks agree with me?

Looks like the meanest and cleanest looking Ghost ive ever seen.

I agree with andy, Its either missing something or has something extra. Either way i cannot put my finger on it.

And though I may get killed for saying this since its isnt all that spectacular. There is something about it I really like.

I'd call that color "root beer," but that name's already taken. :(

IMO adding hypo would be interesting. I'm not into browns, but then lots of people like amels and stripes, which I don't. IOW, I'm sure there will be lots of people that like this one.
 
options... rich... options...

wow... i think that snake is gorgeous... caramels are my favorite and that is better... rich, are you thinking of or would you consider adopting?... i'm a hardworker, don't eat much...
 
DISAPPOINTING?................

Perhaps, but in exploring the genetic possibilities there are bound to be some disappointments. You imagine in your minds eye what two beautiful mutations would look like together and then......you get what looks average?

On the other hand, these average looking animals may be the for-runners of some spectacular looking snakes. That is something that takes time and foresite. You can't look at one pic and think that is the only result that will emerge from those lines.

Stay tuned!...These ugly duckings may produce some swans!

Blue irises??

Rich,
Are the irises as blue as they appear in the pic? Or, is that the colour of the background reflecting off of the irises?
Either way, I may be in the minority, but I LIKE IT! The brown saddles are intriguing. I agree with Serpwidgets, 'RootBeer' would fit this particular 'cultivar.' I have a 75% emory/25% corn, and its saddles remind me more of 'Ice Tea,' not root beer. :)

Like you say just because it doesn't do anything for me, I would be the first to agree that it's a nice snake which plenty of other people find very appealling.
Also, re the ugly duckling syndrome - who knows what may turn up from this line in the future ;)
 
Rich- Lavender related question

Does the orangey color tone fade on the lav babies I got last weekend?

That's what I mean, and what I love about corns: there's so much variety that everyone can find something to fall in love with... and there's still so much left to be discovered. :)
